Not sure what your issue is with the HF chocks, they are a good fit to the tires.
At $5:00 a piece, how can you go wrong. If they don’t fit well, return them
Hey Gary!! I have built in stabilizers. I guess I will use the pads for the long term stays and storage, as suggested. I think I will make the chocks as previously suggest, as well. Gives me something to tinker with and save a few bucks(usually have scrap wood in my garage)
Most RV stabilizers are not designed to level the RV but only to minimize the movement while set up. You may have a built on leveling system but they are not the same as the typical stabilizers found on most travel trailers.
Pretty standard blades and I think the last one I bought was $80.00 or so. It will take rip blades up to 1" if I remember correctly. I have yet to need a part that was not readily available.
We use the Sam's Club brand. And unless it's a #2 dump, we use a small waste basket lined with a plastic bag next to the toilet.
Just make sure that it says "septic safe" somewhere on the label, as most do and then don't use excessive amounts and you will be fine. Always be generous in the use of water in the toilet bowl if depositing solids or using TP and never put anything that hasn't passed through a human body into it except for TP and water. Do that and only dump the tank when at least half full and you will be fine. There are many people with products or home brew mixtures that they believe in and most of them won't harm anything if used with enough water, but they are a major example of flushing your money down the toilet.
Your tank is a holding tank, it's not a septic system. Any normal household brand will work just fine. I prime mine with a few gallons of water and a squirt of dish soap.
I think Kirk stated septic safe only because you want a paper that will break down easily in your “holding tank”. If someone dropped a tissue into the black tank, that will not break down easily
The term “septic action” does not exclusively happen in a septic system. While it is most commonly associated with the anaerobic bacterial processes inside a septic tank, the same biological processes can and does occur in other environments where wastewater or organic matter is present. If allowed to do so, that same process begins to take place in an RV black tank or any other place that human waste and water mix together and time is allowed. The functional digestion process typically starts within 24–48 hours for initial breakdown into a liquid.
yes, i fully agree with you on the bacterial process taking effect, however, I postulate that IT DOESN'T ACTUALLY MATTER, from a personal perspective, having lent my rv to my daughters and had my tank loaded with tissues, tampons, rubber objects, cooking grease and other miscellaneous miscellany.. I have yet to have an issue with flushing and cleaning..
You are so lucky. Everyone I know who has been rv’ing has at one time ended up with blocked drain line. And that’s usually with only toilet paper in the tank with solids. And you say you had all those other things in there and never had an issue. I don’t know how you do it.
lucky, perhaps. I do however fill my tank with fresh like Mark_K5LXP.
I blocked my gray tank with coffee grounds. Happily dumping grounds for about 2 months with the drain open. Next time I filled it a coffee pile went into the pipe when I dumped and blocked it.
